DONATE

By donating monetary contributions, in-kind items, or your time and talent, you can make a real difference in the lives of victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. You can help ensure that CARDV will continue to be a vital part of our community, helping to make certain that the women and children (or other victims of domestic or sexual violence) who reach out to CARDV in the wake of abuse will have the support and resources they need to rebuild their lives. CARDV strives to continue improving our programs to provide the best possible advocacy, support, and resources.

In the words of one of our clients:

I have received support from an organization that has become something like a second family to me. Without the work that CARDV has done, I am not sure that I would be here today…You can look at the work CARDV does with figures and statistics, but that is not fair because it goes beyond that. You can probably not understand the true value of it until you need it yourself. As wonderful what they do is, I hope that neither you nor anyone you know will ever need their help, but as I learned, no amount of preparation or self-defense skills can completely protect you. CARDV is a wonderful resource in our society. Please support them with what you can, as you will help others, just like me, to go from being victims to even stronger survivors.

Please note that if you file your Missouri State tax return jointly, you must include both names and social security numbers on the Application for Claiming Tax Credits.
